[Ansteorra] "Period Containers"

[estarkey at camalott.com]

t'was at a Pennsic, maybe XVIII or XX, 3 kegs were buried in the ground near 
a tree with  budwiser cans and strohs cans hanging on the branches, where 
you could either pick off a "fruit" - strohs or go right for the tap root. 
of course the buds were empty - they weren't ripe yet<G>.  not exactly a 
period container, but it was a lot of fun and a great party.
